Santa also knows when people give themselves thumbs up...

= The problem may lie a little deeper than just what punishment to use. The question becomes how to alter her behavior without increasing resentment. (why do you think she may have done this?) Answer that question and you can find the answer to correct her behavior.

Make the vandalised stocking your 6 year-old's stocking, and buy the older sister a new one. If the older girl's name is on it, cross it out with the purple sharpie and write the 6 year-old's. You might want to investigate why she would do that though...maybe the older girl did something really "BAD" to her. But let everything else be the same. All the presents and everything...don't let it ruin Christmas for her- kids get SO worked up about Christmas and she would take it SO HARD if there was too much attention drawn to the stocking incident. And next year don't make her use the same stocking.

First try to find out why she did it. Maybe she thought her sister was getting away with something and she wanted to make sure Santa knew. Explain to her that Santa can see all, he knows if she was good or bad - no need for any help. Have santa leave a note in her stocking (could even be before christmas) saying he doesn't like what she did. If she's only doing it to me mean and to upset her sister then I guess the usual.

Take her stocking away and make sure her sister gets lots of nice things in hers. Leave a note from Santa explaining that when she acts bad, she has to pay the consequences. Don't let her get by with this. She needs to know better than this. Good luck.

Give the other sis the stocking that wasn't vandalized and tell the other daughter that if she dosent believe in Santa or has the holiday spirit then apparently she dosent believe in getting gifts either. That will make her think.

Give her a present that's not as nice as her sister's. After she opens her present, explain to her later why her present wasn't as good. Teach her from young that for every negative action, it'll match with a negative consequence. Then teach her how to take remedial actions. Sit her down and ask her how she'd feel if her sister had done the same unpleasant thing to her. Ask her how she could make up for what she had done and make her do it.
Get your elder daughter involved as well. It's a good opportunity to teach her about acts of forgiveness.

Put a note in her stocking that reads
"Dear (whatever your 6 year olds name is),
I know that you did a bad thing to your sister's stocking. I'll forgive you this time but don't do anything like that again. I wouldn't want to leave you off of my good girls list next year.
Santa"

HILLARIOUS!!!
put a rock in her stocking I would have said coal BUT who can find coal these days!!! Seriously put a rock or something in her stocking and remind her she is not to judge anyones behavior but her own, then if she looks like shes sorry give her her real gift or have your other daughter give them to her so she can learn forgiveness
